The Color of Ernit.

As the market value OF fruit is mach
affected by its color, handsome red
cheek giving higher price to pear or
apple thau dull green skin, it becomes
a matter OF interest to inquire what in
tluences affect color. An eastern fruit
dealer remarked to us that if red cheek
could be given to the Anjou pear it
would stand at the head OF the list as
profitable sort. Orchardists who sell
pears are familiar with the high prices
obtained for crimson shaded Clairgeaus.
In some years the red color is more in.
tense than in others. 1t is not always
the hot sun which causes this difference.
At an exhibition of apples in Ohio it was
observed that the same varieties grown
i'll northern counties were Of higher color
than those from the southern part of the
State. A deeper color is frequently
seen in cloudy and rainy summers than
otherwise 1t is we'll known that Bart
lett pear ripening in dark drawer has
deeper crimson than if remaining in
full light. Mr.. Brodie of Canada stated
at horticultural meeting that Golden
Russets grown ON sandy loan were much
lighter in color than those on gravelly
loan, and he observed the same differ
encu in the color of the Fameuse. Other
members thought that the use of partic-
ular fertilizers affected color. 1t is a
subject worthy of observation and ex-
pertinent. Alany CaltiUdtor.

Winter Care of Cows.

The arrangement Of the barn and
yard should be such as to reduce the
labor as much as possible. Excessive
warmth is not conducive to robustness,
health or profit. If mans house is
kept closed up and heated with stoves
to temperature of eighty degrees, and
his food and drink are all taken hot
with a view to preventing the effects of
the cold and to insure more comfort,
the dwellers in that house will become
sick or diseased; the impure air will
poison the blood; the warmth viii relax
the skin, dry it and open the pores, and
the slightest draft will cause fit of
shivering and induce dangerous colds.
1t is in precisely such houses that sore
throat, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and
otheS diseases are so frequent, while in
the house where the windows are thrown
open to the breezes, and the cold, brisk,
pure mir is welcomed, and exercise and
health give warmth, fed by the abund-
ant oxygen of the fresh air coursing
through the blood. there are health and
vigor and comfort. 1t is the same in
the dairy. Pleuro-pneumonia invades
those herds which are kept in close,
warm, unwholesome stables, and the
dreaded tuberculosis finds there it's
prey; while from tho wide airy stable,
we'll ventilated and filed with pure cold
air, the well fed COWS will emerge to
frolic in the snow, and enjoy themselves
in the bright sunshine and the crisp
air, when the Thermometer marks down
nearly to zero. Except in stormy wealth
er, the COWS should spend at least three
or four hours every day in the yard,
picking some rough feed and getting
water and exercise. american Agrieul,

Indeed, the dilution with wat r is gem
orally necessary to some degree, rs in
many cases the old vinegar is too acid to
be agreeable, and the cider in the first
stage OF making is often slow in turning
to the acid state on account Of an excess
of saccharine matter, which is corrected
by proper addition of soft water The
natural process may he fastened by oc-
cesionally turning the cider out of one
barrel into another, exposing it more
fully to the air, also by the addition OF
gallon of strong vinegar or a little
mother TO each barrel. Sometimes trick
ling it down through beech chips or
shavings is practised for more rapid
making, but people who have large
orchards and make large quantities
never resort to any Of the questionable
methods sometimes used by manufac-
turers for making what they call cider
vinegar quickly, but are content to wait
on the natural process and find their
compensation in the higher value placed
on their products by their customers

How to Make Cider Vinegar.

Vinegar can easily be made from many
different substances, but in country
abounding in apples there is no excuse
for making it for domestic use from any
thing but the best. Pure cider vinegar
is easily though not rapidly madeby the
natural process, and when thus made is
healthful and free from all the objections
attached to the manufactured article,
and never diSappoints the houskeeper
by degenerating to insipidity or eating
up herpickles by extreme acidity. When
made in large quantities from the Or
chard the making begins as soon as
enough apples have fallen to furnish
supply. These are ground IL the cider
mill, as for cider, and may be pressed at
once, but q better way is to keep the
pomace in large vats Or casks until it has
become quite sour, when the cider is
pressed out and again put into yats or
casks to remain until we'll settled, when
the clear liquor is draMn off into barrels
not quite full. These barrels ought to
be kept in the sun covered with boards
for protection to the barrels until cold
weather sets in, when the barrels are re-
moved to the vinegar-house, which
should have stove to keep it warm in
the winter AMI hasten the process.
The barrels ought to be iron-hooped
and well painted, as it is desirable,
though not indispensable, tos expose
them to the sun in the warm autumn
days, and for large operators vinegar
honse that can be warmed artifcially is
desirable. Many, however, keep their
sour cider in cellars or barns until
spring, when it is again exposed to the
sun and circulation Of mir, for cellar
is not good place for making vinegar.
The bungholes should be kept covered
with pieces of mosquito net or other
material that will keep out the flies.
The bungs must not be put i'll except
temporarily for at least a year, and
where the barrels are in position that
does not require frequent moving it is
better to keep the bangs open for n
much longer time. as the vinegar will

OVER THE DRAW.
Narrow Escape from Death by Falling

A remarkable accident and miraculous

bridge employees, thinking there was time to

opened the gates Just as the horse fore

carriage with its five occupants was at once
thrown into the river. Crews of vessels W.

"Sometimes the gates are closed for several

the gates closed longer than necessary.
Now, it frequently h1ppens that team will
stand at the gate waiting to cross the bridge,
and the gatekeeper, knowing that the draw
will not be opened for few minutes, will, as
a matter of accommodation, open the gate
and let the team cross. That bad custom

SHE GAME AND WENT.

She came and went. as comes ana goes
The dewdrop on the morning rose,
Or as the tender lights that die
At shut OF day along the sky.
Her coming made the dawn more bright,
Her going brought the somber night
Her coming made the blossoms shine'
Her going made them droop and pine.
Where er her twinkling feet did pass,
Beneath them greener grew the grass
The song birds ruffied their small throats
To swell for her their blithest notes.
But when she went, the blushing day
Sank into silence chill and gray,
The dark its sable vans unfurled.
And sudden night possessed the world.
o fond desires that wake in vain.
She me- will come TO us again;
And now, like vanished perfume sweet,
Her memory grows more vague and heet'
Yet we rejoice that morn by morn
The sad old world seems less forlorn,
Since once so bright vision came
To touch our lives with Heavenly flame,
And show to our bewildered eyes
What beauty dwells in paradise.
